Ghost in the Shell
(1995)
Directed by Mamoru
Oshii this anime also known as “Mobile Armored Riot Police” is
based on the manga of the same name. In the near future a
cybernetically enhanced police officer tries to track down an elusive
hacker.
Coming with a fairly
large reputation as one of the inspirations of The Matrix (1999) this
film certainly lives up to it's billing. The main themes of the film
are the future of man kind and role technology may play in our
evolution. While the script is good it could go a little further into
explaining some of the technology used in the film as I did find
myself having to make guesses at what stuff was a fair amount of the
time.
4/5
